Do more for the victims of dementia

EXCLUSIVE BY DAVID MCDONNELL THE Professional Footballers' Association has been branded a "disgrace" for its perceived failure to adequately tackle the dementia crisis among ex-players.

- 

Former players are three-and-a-half times more likely to be diagnosed with dementia than the general population, as a result of heading the ball over a sustained period during their careers.

The PFA and the Premier League launched the Football Brain Health Fund (FBHF), with £1million initially made available to ex-players and their families who have been impacted by dementia.
